Fiz Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 A friend in America used to see them regularly and rave about them. She even sent me a programme from one performance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheherezade Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 What a gorgeous season. If only we could hope for something similar. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I hope Sarasota audiences know how lucky they are.....they're getting not just Ashton's R&J but also Peter Wright's traditional Giselle (the one with the brown and yellow costumes for Act 1 and actual Romantic era tutus for Act 2)! I thought that Giselle had gone forever! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeralds Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 9 hours ago, Dawnstar said: Isn't the RB's Giselle also Wright's production? Or has he done more than one version? Yes, he's done at least 2 or 3. It's not just the costumes being vastly different but the RB version and his traditional production vary in other ways- eg the Peasant pas de deux is the traditional format, not the unconventional and more difficult pas de six in the RB version. The Act 2 choreography for Myrtha and the other wilis also have some differences. It's a beautiful production and while the current BRB & RB versions are nice, I do miss this one- it was outstanding and its only fault (if one can call it that) was that it had been danced for so many years. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Is this the one BRB used to do until it was replaced by the Bintley version? I only ever saw it the once, at Sadler's Wells, way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane S Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Bournonville, Ashton, Paul Taylor - the 3 choreographers I have most loved - and Balanchine and Robbins too: pre-21st century heaven! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Me too, pretty much. And that reminds me - with all the complaints about the absence of New York City Ballet from these shores, it must be even longer now since the Paul Taylor company has been here. They used to come here what felt like every couple of years or so - I wonder what changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane S Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I think they didn't sell well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
